Farman 222 - Four engined, 1930 era bomber

Slow, but fun, try the forward gunner's post

AG1- 2 front engines
Ag2- 2 pusher engines

Feature: forward gunner got a moving gun!

This concept is based on the 1930 era, Farman 222 France bomber. Top speed is about 170mph. It is slow of course, Engines were not very powerful that time. To get sufficient power, they used 4 available engines in push-pull position.


Simple cockpit

Background History: Real Farman 222

The Farman F.220 and its derivatives were thick-sectioned, high-winged, four engined monoplanes from Farman Aviation Works. Based on the push-pull configuration proven by the F.211, design started in August 1925 and the first flight of the prototype was on 26 May 1932. The definitive F.222 variant was the biggest bomber to serve in France between the world wars. One variant was designed as an airliner.[Wikipedia]

    I am glad people like this plane more than I expected. Also got a good amount of upvote for this post. At one point, I was thinking to stop and delete this while building this plane.
